Beautifully bred by Rainbow Equus Meadows.  Sire is the magnificent "Grandom" out of the Hannoverian Mare "Kappuccino"; by the legendary "Kalypso." Branded US Hannoverian. Exemplary conformation, gorgeous head, neck and eye; seamlessly put together; great feet and tail (what REALLY matters of course!)  Good, fluid 4 beat walk; fantastic, big, elastic trot with lots of natural engagement and hock. Big mediums and extensions.  Marvelous canter. Excellent and easy lateral work; sensitive and responsive to the aids. Great walk to canter transitions; balanced counter canter and wonderfully smooth flying changes. Plenty of 'lift' for the piaffe, passage, and canter pirouettes. Feels fabulous under saddle; easy to sit on; smooth and super comfortable gaits; big movement but holds the rider in position; AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO RIDE!!!  I've been in the dressage world for a long time and this one is really special; I can't say enough good stuff about her (but you can tell that I'm trying)!  In my opinion; this mare is everything you could possibly want and more!  A sweetheart of a personality; quiet and focused; forward and energetic; sensible, intelligent, charming and eager to please.  Not in the least bit 'marish'. One wonderful owner her whole life; has always been in loving, professional training.  Totally clean legs; no blemishes; has never had any soundness problems; has never required or received any supplemental care.  Travels easily (has done the Arizona show circuit); "Glorious" is coming from the H/J world and is destined to be a dressage princess.  Priced at $55,000; but the price will increase as her training progresses.

Teal

A gentle giant!  The perfect husband or gentleman's mount, or great for a taller or more ample woman.  Quiet and sweet, yet forward and energetic; not at all lazy and naturally in front of the leg!  1/2 Irish Draft, 1/2 Percheron, looks like a Cleveland Bay (bred to be field hunters). Registered and highly approved by the American Warmblood Society. 18 h, fully dappled mahogany bay with no white markings adds to his 'awesomeness'! 10 years old (old enough to know better, young enough to care!); huge feet to match his huge body; yet enough refinement to be a wonderful riding horse. Loving and affectionate; wonderful 'teddy bear' personality.

Very nice, big, flowing walk with a good overstep; good trot; fantastic, slow,steady,rhythmic and forward canter.  Great confidence builder for someone with a fear or uneasiness of the canter; "Teal" definitely will take care of and protect his rider.  Priced at $30,000.  

Mason

* The Ultimate Grand Prix Schoolmaster *

Imported from Germany and then Canada;  Mason had 4 years of training with Dietrich Von Hapffgarden; performs all the Grand Prix movements; and had a very successful 2009 competitive season at Prix St. Georges with Jr/Yr owner and rider Danielle Price of Texas with scores through 67.895 % !
 
Mason is a 16'1" h; 16 year old; chestnut Hannoverian gelding.  He is by the legendary stallion "Matcho AA"; and is out of the Hannoverian mare "Grandessa." Mason is branded Hannoverian.
 
Grand Prix rider and trainer Karin Lencyk of Rainbow's End Farm in Texas describes Mason as: "Totally stable with a great work ethic; a solid citizen; very personable and sweet; trustworthy; great at shows; an easy keeper with no health or soundness issues; clean legs and good feet."
 
In 2009, Danielle Price, aboard Mason and competing at Prix St. Georges, received 7's and 8's on their flying changes, walk and canter pirouettes, lateral work and tempis.
 
Danielle describes Mason (who's nickname is " Bubba"), as: "Such a pleasure to be around.  He's such a puppy dog; so easy going; loves to socialize; and 'is such a gentle heart.'" Danielle says that Bubba takes great care of, listens to, and is so conscious of his rider. "He's so sweet and not at all spooky or afraid of things like goats, tractors or dogs. Bubba's an easy traveler and is very well behaved at shows; he's just as relaxed in a random stall at any fairground as he is at home next to his girlfriend "Angelique." He also really shows a lot of love and affection to his 'person.'"

Danielle emphasizes that Bubba responds beautifully to positive reinforcement; that he'll try so hard and go the extra mile for you if he's praised. "He's an exact reflection of the rider...of who you are and what you're doing. He'll do exactly what you tell him to do; if your aides for the movement are correct, than he'll be happy to do that movement for you. That's what makes him such a great teacher."
 
Mason is the perfect mount for a Jr/Yr or and Adult Amateur that aspires to compete or train through Grand Prix. He is a delight to work with and to be around; and is completely sound ...mentally and physically.
 
Mason is available for purchase solely because his owner is college-bound; therefore...only wonderful and loving homes will be considered. A real gem at $70,000.00
